International Urban and Regional Cooperation (IURC): Sustainable and innovative cities and regions. IURC will lead and develop a form of decentralised international urban and regional cooperation whose main axes of activity would be two-fold: sustainable urban development and innovation in key partner countries and regions in line with the external dimension of ‘Europe 2020’.
The project will:
- develop cooperation between EU and non-EU participating cities in order to improve and feed EU cities’ practices on sustainable urban development
- develop innovation cooperation between EU and selected regions in Brazil, Mexico, Argentina, Chile, Peru and Colombia and with selected regions in China and Japan
